Yang Delun was alone in the back alley, hitting the wall with his right fist four times. He felt pain on his knuckles. He was humiliates. He was angry. He has never been humiliated like he is now in his life. Since he was a teenager, he fails to accomplish anything. He recalled five years ago, when he was wandering the street trying to figure out what to do next, someone approached him and asked if he was the hunter Zhao Renshu. Since then, he has been imitating Zhao Renshu and his life has become better. As long as he pretends to be this person, he can get everything he wants, no matter where he goes, he will have women, food, and money. He was about to catch a big fish, settle down, and then the real Zhao Renshu defeated him. He take off his priest's clothes and threw it on the ground.
A voice whispered in his ears.
Yang Delun turned around and said, "Who is there?"
Woman's voice, "I can take away all these shame. All you have to do is say yes."
Yang Delun, "Who are you?"
Woman Voice, "I am Xianmu."
Yang Delun, "Where are you?"
Xianmu giggled and said, "I am everywhere, but it depends whose vessel is more suitable for me."
Yang Delun, "Show yourself."
Then a shadowy figure emerged from the wall. Yang Delun jumped back and started running.
Xianmu chased Yang Delun on the wall and said, "Running away won't solve your problem. Are you going to always run away forever? Are you willing to accept failure and pretend to be someone else? Or do you want to control and show to those who insult you that you are more than what they see?"
Yang Delun stopped and then turned around. Throughout his life, he always pretended to be someone else. If he has the opportunity to suppress those who insult him, he will seize this opportunity.
Yang Delun asked, "How can you help me?"
Xianmu, "I can give you everything. All you have to do is say yes."
Yang Delun, "If I agree, can you give me the ability to defeat Zhao Renshu and become the greatest hunter ever?"
Xianmu promised, "If you say yes, I can do anything. What do you say?"
Yang Delun said strongly, "Yes, I accept you."
Xianmu walked to Yang Delun's body and merged her body with Yang Delun. Xianmu tasted a strong sense of jealousy deep in Yang Delun's heart. On the other hand, Yang Delun could feel spiritual energy running through his entire body, circling in every cell inside him. He punched holes in the wall, and the whole wall vibrated in a zigzag shape. Now he can take revenge. The knife attack failed to kill Zhao Renshu, but his punch will not fail this time. Then, a middle-aged man rushed out of the house and shouted.
Man, "You fool. You have to pay for the damage to my wall." The man grabbed Yang Delun's right shoulder.
Yang Delun turned around, grabbed the man's neck with his right hand, lifted him from the ground, and squeezed hard. He felt the bones in his neck crack slowly, and the cracking sound of the bones satisfied him. The man stopped struggling, and then Yang Delun pulled the deceased body closer. He absorbed the strength of the dying man by kissing the lips of the dying man. He dropped the body to the ground and walked into a busy street.
The last night of the Lantern Festival was busier than usual. Since this is the last night of the Lantern Festival, there are more stall vendors. From the front of the street to the end of the street, there are many food, jewelry, toys and clothing vendors on both sides of Sunset Street. Lee Dachin stopped at one of the jewelry vendor. The jewelry vendor was outside of the jewelry store. Lee Dachin began to look at the jewelries on the stall.
Fang Yaoting asked, "Is there anything you like?" Fang Yaoting stood beside Lee Dachin.
Lee Dachin was taken aback by Fang Yaoting's voice.
Fang Yaoting, "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to scare you. Where are your friends?"
Lee Dachin, "I lost them somewhere in the crowd."
Fang Yaoting, "Do you like jewelry?"
Lee Dachin, "I haven't given Ping'an a wedding gift yet." He picked up a silver bracelet. "Boss, how much is this?"
Vendor owner said, "That will be fifty coins."
Lee Dachin, "Can you lower the price?"
Vendor owner, "I'm sorry, childe. This is pure silver. I can't reduce the price."
Lee Dachin sighed, "That's okay."
The vendor owner held another bracelet with similar feature, "But this bracelet is metal and this is only ten coins."
When Lee Dachin was still deciding, Fang Yaoting looked at all the display items on the table. He picked up a gold butterfly lying on a sliver flower hairpin. Then he walked behind Lee Dachin and fixed the hairpin to Lee Dachin's hair. Then walked back standing next to Lee Dachin.
Fang Yaoting smiled at Lee Dachin, "There, a beautiful hairpin, suitable for a beautiful person." He put a gold ingot on the table. "This is for bracelets and hairpin."
The vendor owner happily picked up the gold ingot. He said, "Thank you. If you see something else you like, go ahead take it."
Lee Dachin was shocked by Yaoting's actions, "Childe Fang, I can't accept this."
Fang Yaoting, "It's already on your hair. I am not taken it back. It's yours, you can use it to do whatever you want."
The vendor owner picked up the bracelet, wrapped it in a small gift box, and gave it to Lee Dachin. Fang Yaoting and Lee Dachin walked side by side on the busy street.
Lee Dachin, "Thank you childe Fang." He handed the wrapped gift to Fang Yaoting. "You can give it to Ping'an."
Fang Yaoting, "Why me?"
Lee Dachin, "Prove to Baiyu and Ping'an that you accepted them as husband and wife."
Fang Yaoting knew he cannot win the argument, so he took the small wrapped present and put it inside his inner robe. He always have a weak heart for beautiful men.
Lee Dachin, "Childe Fang, please don't buy anything expensive next time."
Fang Yaoting, "I don't plan to buy it, but when I look at your beautiful silky long black hair, I think this hairpin is more suitable for you than any lady on this street." He stopped and looked at Lee Dachin. "If you feel uncomfortable, just give me a present in return."
Lee Dachin and Fang Yaoting spotted Guo Longtong, Lim Peizhi, and the Huang sisters on the other side of the street. They are on the game table.
Lee Dachin, "Look at them over there." He pointed across the street.
Fang Yaoting grabbed Lee Dachin's right wrist with his left hand.
Lee Dachin, "Childe Fang, please restrain yourself, we are in public."
Fang Yaoting smiled at Lee Dachin, "Just to make sure I won't lose you."
Fang Yaoting held Lee Dachin's right wrist. When the two men crossed the road, Fang Yaoting took the lead. When the two walked towards their friends, Fang Yaoting's hand slipped from Lee Dachin's right wrist into Lee Dachin's right hand. Fang Yaoting grasped Lee Dachine's hand tightly walking towards their friends.
Guo Longtong shouted, "Dachin over here." He waved his hand high.
Lee Dachin and Fang Yaoting crossed the road to meet the group. Lee Dachin slowly removed his hand from Fang Yaoting's hand.
The vendor owner, "Gentlemen and ladies come and play. Knock down ten ceramic vases off the table with three balls and win a prize."
Lim Peizhi, "Let me try. We don't have occasion like this in Waterfall City."
The Vendor owner stacked five small ceramic vases on the bottom, then stacked four on top of the five, then three, then two, and then stacked one on the top.
Vendor owner, "Good luck."
Lim Peizhi gave the vendor owner three coins, and the the vendor handed him three cloth balls.
Lim Peizhi threw a ball in the middle. Except for the two vases, all the vases fell off the table. Lim Peizhi threw another ball and knocked down the remaining two on the small table.
Vendor owner, "Congratulations. Choose any lantern you like."
Lim Peizhi turned to Huang Yueliang, "Which lantern do you like?"
Huang Yueliang, "That one." She pointed at the lantern with two butterflies.
Vendor owner smile, "Wonderful choice my lady." He took the paper lantern and handed it to Huang Yueliang.
Lee Dachin smiled and looked at Huang Yueliang, "Wow, this is a beautiful butterfly painting."
Suddenly, all ten ceramic vases were knocked down by a ball.
The vendor owner shouted, "Wow!" He clapped his hands loudly and yelled excitedly. ``I have never seen anyone knock out ten vases with one ball. Congratulations."
Fang Yaoting, "Chose one."
Lee Dachin turned to Fang Yaoting, "Huh?"
Fang Yaoting, "Choose a lantern for you."
Lee Dachin said shyly, "The one with the flower and the butterfly."
The vendor grabbed the lantern with the butterfly on top of the flower like his hairpin that Fang Yaoting just got for him. The vendor smiled and handed the lantern to Lee Dachin. Lee Dachin cheeks turned red.
Zhao Renshu said from behind, "Wow, I didn't know that child Fang would be so accurate." The lovers smiled and walked towards them.
Fang Yaoting ignored Zhao Renshu, "Are you getting one?" He looked at Ping'an.
Ping'an, "I already have two."
Zhao Renshu teased, "Heh...all ladies except Hongse have one." He put three coins on the table, and the vendor gave him three balls. He walked over and stood beside Guo Longtong. He threw three balls at Guo Longtong. "Here, get a lantern for the lady." He smiled at him.
Guo Longtong took the three balls. He stands behind the marked line, holding two balls in his left hand. He held a ball with his right hand. He moved the ball back and forth between his eyes and the stack of ten vases. When he was about to throw the ball, he hesitated and withdrew. He continued to do this for about ten minutes.
Zhao Renshu became impatience, "Just throw the darn ball already."
Guo Longtong threw the ball, but the ball didn't even touch the ceramic vase. Instead, it hit the edge of the vendor's table and bounced back and hit him directly on the left forehead. He dropped the other two balls and covered his forehead with his two hands. Everyone is disappointed with "Ah" expression.
Lee Dachin rushed to his friend, "Are you okay?" He moved Guo Longtong's hands and examined the injured site. "Not too bad." He gentle pressed on Guo Longtong's forehead. "Does this hurt?"
Guo Longtong murmured, "Just a little bit." He buried his head on Lee Dachin's chest. "It's so embarrassing."
Lee Dachin patted him gently on his back, "You will be fine. We hold pen instead of sword, remember that."
Guo Longtong, "Still…" His head was still on Lee Dachin's chest.
Huang Hongse picked up the two remaining balls on the ground and threw them to the ceramic vase. The first ball hits all the balls, except for one. She threw the second ball and dropped the last vase on the table.
Huang Hongse turned to Guo Longtong, "You can pick a lantern."
Guo Longtong raised his head from Lee Dachin's chest and looked at Huang Hongse. He smiled happily.
Guo Longtong, "Can I really?"
Huang Hongse said coldly, "Yes."
Zhao Renshu returned to Ping'an and Guo Baiyu, "I don't know Baiyu. How could he miss the ball from that distance?" He shook his head. "Are you sure he is your cousin?"
Guo Longtong happily held his lantern, "Hey, guys, they are going to set off fireworks soon. I know the best place to watch the fireworks."
Huang Hongse, "Where?"
Guo Longtong, "Dachin, do you remember?"
Lee Dachin smiled shyly, "Yes."
Guo Longtong, "Last year, Dachin and I were on the roof at Sunrise Inn. We were enjoying ourselves, but for some reason the ladder fell down. After the firework, there was no one to help us down, so we were there all night."
Lee Dachin, "The next morning, some waiters found us, which is a good thing."
Qingyu, who was sitting on the roof, looked at the people below. She smiled and said, "Hmm...a beautiful place, but it will soon be ruined."
